AltHL fans and contributors!

We have selected our cities, we have given our teams names, and now it is time to give them identities.  Round 4 will be a design contest to produce the logos of each AltHL franchise.  Round 5 will be a design contest to produce the sweaters that our teams will wear. Continue reading for the goals, rules and guidelines for this part of our process.

The Goals of Round 4: 
1. To end up with 16 creative, powerful and unique identities.  This means unique logos and color schemes. With only 16 teams, this shouldn’t be too difficult.
2. To create logos that we can use for a number of fun and exciting applications.  
3. To get as many contributors as possible.

The Rules for Round 4:

1. Your work must be your own!  This should be self-explanatory but just in case...you should avoid tracing and copying other logos and concepts.  Don’t use clipart. This is different than having source material. Make your submissions distinctively yours.  

2. You are allowed to use any font that you desire.  If you find a font of an existing team that is okay as well.  

3. Submit your entries to our new email Email-AltHockeyLeague2020@gmail.com

4. Do not submit your entries to the board! I am going to take all of the submissions and then present them in a uniform way.  This is to make comparing each concept easier. Different concepts will be at different levels of quality, therefore we don't want people to be discouraged from participating because they think their concept won't measure up.

5. Your submission must include a PRIMARY LOGO, WORDMARK and COLOR PALETTE.  If you would like to include a secondary logo please feel free to do so but it isn’t required.

6. If able please submit your work in vector format.  This means PDF or AI formats. You can also submit HIGH RES JPG and PNG formats.  This will make it easier for me to ensure each submission is displayed at a high quality.

7. Provide your first and last name in your email with the submission files so we can give you credit when the time comes.

The Deadlines for Round 4:

All Logos (Except Charlotte and Winnipeg) Due Wednesday March 11.

Who Can Participate?

The answer is everyone! If you are comfortable with photoshop and illustrator that is great.  But if you are not and you are more of a pencil and paper type of person that is okay as well.  I can try and help you render it on the computer for your submissions. To do that just submit your drawing to me during the first of the two weeks periods. If you don't want to make a submission but still have an idea just want to talk about our teams feel free to do so in this thread.

AltHL Owner Application:

In case you didn't see it in the other thread, we are asking people to fill out applications to be a future owner of one of our AltHL franchises.  We are using the application to simply get organized and gauge the interest from the community.  We have a ton of applications already and want to give everyone the opportunity to sign up.  I can safely say that all of our franchises will hit the ice in 2020.

As usual if you have any questions please DM me.  Don't forget to vote for Group C names in the other thread!

A submission example.  It does not have to have a fancy presentation.  Simple is best.  Ideally it would be a higher res image that this one.
